Heavy Drinking Clinical Trial
Official title:
Testing a Novel Instagram Intervention for Heavy Alcohol Use: A Randomized Controlled
This project aims to test the efficacy of an Instagram-based intervention for reducing heavy alcohol use. More specifically, the investigators will use a randomized controlled design to analyze differences in alcohol use and alcohol-related outcomes (e.g., alcohol-related consequences, etc.) as well as differences in the use of protective behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. Participants (80 Prolific users who report binge drinking) will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: intervention or control. Those who are randomized to the intervention condition will be invited to follow study Instagram pages, and those who are randomized to the control condition will be invited to complete the assessments only. The investigators hypothesize that there will be greater reductions in alcohol use, frequency, and consequences and greater frequency of use of mindfulness exercises and protective behavioral strategies among those in the intervention condition as compared to those in the control condition.

Primary | Change in Frequency of Past-month Alcohol Use Using the Computer-Administered Timeline Follow-Back | The investigators will analyze differences in the amount of days spent drinking. | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Primary | Change in Quantity of Past-month Alcohol Use Using the Computer-Administered Timeline Follow-Back | The investigators will analyze differences in amount of past-month alcohol use and the amount of past-month binge-drinking episodes. | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Change in Frequency of Protective Behavioral Strategy Use Using the Protective Drinking Practices Scale | The investigators will analyze the difference in frequency of recent protective behavioral strategy use using the Protective Drinking Practices Scale (minimum score = 20, maximum score = 120, and higher scores indicate a better outcome). | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Change in the Amount of Recent Alcohol Consequences Using the Brief Young Adult Consequences Scale | The investigators will analyze the difference in amount of consequences related to alcohol use using the Brief Young Adult Consequences Scale (minimum score = 0, maximum score = 24, and higher scores indicate a worse outcome). | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Change in Frequency of Mindfulness Practice Use Using the Mindfulness Awareness Scale | The investigators will analyze the difference in frequency of use of mindfulness practices using the Mindfulness Awareness Scale (minimum score = 15, maximum score = 90, and higher scores indicate a better outcome). | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Change in Readiness to Change Drinking Behavior Using the Readiness to Change Questionnaire | The investigators will analyze the difference in reported readiness to change drinking behavior using the Readiness to Change Questionnaire (minimum score = 12, maximum score = 84, and higher scores indicate a better outcome). | Given pre-intervention and at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Participant Subjective Reactions Using Likert Scales | The investigators will ask participants to rate the intervention content on acceptability dimensions created specifically for this study (i.e., relevance, empathy, interest, helpfulness, respectfulness, personalization). On a given domain, minimum score = 1, maximum score = 5, and higher scores indicate better outcomes. | Given at 10-week follow-up | |
Secondary | Participant Subjective Reactions Using Simple Yes/No Questions | The investigators will ask participants to rate how the intervention has qualitatively impacted them using simple yes/no questions (i.e., if they remember seeing certain posts, if the posts made them think about their drinking, affected their sense of community, etc.). | Given at 10-week follow-up |
